dreading OOP

I hope this is not too far OT, however, you are the best resource I have for PHP and if anyone would know, it would be you guys. I have been writing scripts off and on for the past year and have an application written in PHP for a business' internal use. I have used snippets of Object oriented code from other people here and there to get by and I have read information on OOP in a couple of different places. However, my mind apparently works different and I keep trying to relate the OOP structure to what I already know which equates an object to a function. I am resolving to purchase a book dedicated to instruction in the inns and outs of OOP. Specifically at it relates to PHP would be great but my emphasis is towards something that teaches someone that is stubborn in his reliance on previously learned methods. I hope this makes sense and I'm not alone on this. :) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Larry S. Brown Dimension Networks, Inc. (727) 723-8388
